A BEAR" IN THE BOOK MARKET.

People generally have supposed that
the Literary Revolution brought the
prices of books down to the very bot
tom. The supposition W as mistake.
Alden has recently made reduction
all along the ljne-a reduction go great
as to be startling surprise to book
buyers, and an amazeinent to book
publishers! He says continued reduc-
ton in cost OF manufacture, and a con-
tinually widening market warrant it.
He says still lower prices are possible
if purchasers can be sufficiently multi
plied-it would seem as if he were
bound to make customer of every one
who can read! Tennyson's "Enoch
Arden" for cents! GuizOt's France
427 fine illustrations, reduced from
S34 to 81 80, and so on, ad infnitum !!
A novel scheme which he has recently
pnt forward to tempt book lovers is a
''Provident Book Club" which secures
each member So library for INSTALL
ments of 90 cents month, or q
larger library for proportionate pay
memts. His new 64-page Alphabetical
Catalogue is q very wonder in its lit
erary attraction-it and particulars of
that club are sent tree to any applicant.

"sTAMPINa OUT THE MUGwUMPs "
IFrom Harpers's Weekly Nov, l9.

From Harpers's Weekly Nov. ~.
Mr.. Murat Halstead is q mugwump
of 1872. He now telegraphs to the New
York Tribune as follows:
"Will republicans of New York
kindly take notice that the republicans
of Ohio speak right out on the great
public questions3 And we are re-
warded for our direct methods by sue
cess in stamping out the mugwumps,
and we have comparatively few pro.
hibitionists. The way to hold the lines
of battle is to edge them with fire.
And when the solid south unfurls the
broad banner of the confederate bloody
shirt, we do not think Il wicked to put
up the old flag and turn loose the bird
Of glory"
This must be very impressive to re-
publicans, because it 10 the same Mr..
Halstead who i'm the pinch of the war
spoke "right out" to Secretary Chase
- follows:
"Our noble army of the Mississippi
is being wasted by the foolish, drunk

it were not feared that Hamlin is Q
bigger fool than he is. And yet the
pitiful congress twaddles weekly In
private caucus about political matters
as if little more nigger would do
everything"
Mr.. Murat Hslstead is evidently a

MR. HEARD's VIEWS ON REDUCTION
Congressman Heard has been int

Congressman Heard has been inter-
viewed by the New York Herald. He
says:-'I am in favor of reducing the
receipts of the government to that fig
ure which would provide only for the
necessary expenses of its administra-
ton and not continue to collect . sur
plus-relying on extraordinary expen-
ditures to distribute the money among
the people believe, however, in lib
eral appropriations for the Improvement
of our important rivers and harb0rs
and for the construction OF adequate
coast defenses and the building ofiA
good navy. In reducing the receipts
prefer not to touch the internal revenue
at all, but leave the tax as it is on
tobacco, whisky and beer, and make
the entire reduction by liberal exten-
sion OF the free list and reduction of
tariff duties on such articles of COM
mon necessity as would best bear it
and most lessen the cost of living to
the people. l would support q reasona-
BILE compromise bill, however, con-
tanning some modification of the
tobacco tax il it also provided for
reduction by the means alluded 10
above" After saying that he would
| not vote for q bill repeating the taxes
on whisky, beer or fruit brandies, he
added d:-"I am satisfied that about
SIG, ,OOO, 900 or $17 900, 900 of the sur
plus will be distributed to the different
states and territories and District of
Columbia by refunding of the money
collected under the direct tax laws of
1861 and 1862. The total amount OF
said tax laid was $4,000, 900 of
which about SIT 900 600 were collected,
and the rest remains unpaid. Some
states paid in part while some paid IN
full, while some paid nothing at all.
AS 1t is obviously unjust for some
states to pay while others do not. and
since 1t is not regarded practicable now
to collect from those states delinquent.
1t was recommended by Secretary
Folger and Comptroller Lawrence, as
the only equitable adjustment OF the
matter, that all sums collected under
said laws should be returned by the
government to those states from which
collected, while the delinquent states
should be credited by the amount still
unpaid. Such bill passed the senate
in the forty ninth congress, and would
have passed the house had il been
reached, and will, think, pass during
the coming session."

Kilrain Easily Whips Lannon.

BosToN, March s.-The much alked.of
fight between Jack Kilrain and Joe Lam
non took place tonight, in Saugus.
When the men faced each other both
appeared in fire condition, Kilra,n weighing 175
pounds andLannon three pounds less. In the
first round Lannon went for his opponent, land
ing several heavy blows on his ribs and chin. Xii
rain returning the compliment with savage
body blow. The second round was nearly a
repetition of the first neither winning great
advantage. In the third round beth were
cautious at first. but during the latter part Of
the round it give and take, and some heavy
fighting was done. At last kilrain dealt Lannon
a heavy blow on the head. knocking him to the
floor.
During the succeeding seven rounds both men
fought desperately, but Kilrain exhibited the
most science and Lannon seemed to be- fighting
against great odds. Kilrain proved to the spec
tators that he was the best man. and this was
more clearly proved in the eleventh round when
he sent in six stunning blows in quick success
sion upon Lannon'S head. the last one closing
his eye and stretching him senseess upon the
floor, where he lay twenty seconds before he re-
covered consciousness. At the end of that time
the fight was given to Kllran The latter es-
capped without scratch. The purse was 81, 600.
